Left-Leaning Lamestream media actually blamed Sarah Palin's campaign material for influencing this maniac. Jared Loughner was a graduate of a William Ayers designed, small school in Tucson. A “small school” is an alternative school which is based on political organizing and emphasizing political involvement over test scores. The schools were designed by Bill Ayres and tested in Chicago by Arnie Duncan and funded by Bill Gates.

Holmes was studying “neuro science” in the psychology dept at the University of Colorado. Psychology is a social science, not a real science at all. Neuro-science is the study of the use of emotional buzz words or phrases to influence listeners and how this can be applied to political campaigns - brainwashing.

Christopher Dorner ~ former Los Angeles officer / reserve Navy officer suspected of killing a couple over the weekend and opening fire on four officers early Thursday, killing one and critically wounding another ~ fired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008 for making false statements, a huge Obama supporter, admirer of Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper and incredibly, pro-gun control.

The common denominator of all these shooters is that they all are Progressive Liberal Democrats.

So why is that the media portrays Conservative, NRA-type gun owners as the real danger?

This is why Democrats want to ban guns. They're not afraid of what we'll do with them. They're afraid of what they'll do with them.

FWIW, Dorner's antics have turned law enforcement here in Southern Califrutopia on their heads. Out and about early on Thursday AM, there were marked units at every freeway onramp for twenty miles along the major freeways looking for him.

So much for The Man being able to rule the masses if things get sporty for everyone. LAPD was so scared $#!^less that they shot up two Asian ladies' pickup, with at least 2 full mags of 9mm/.40SW. Both of the targets laid across the seats front and back. 71 year-old grandma caught two apparently superficially in the back, but she's in stable condition, no major damage other than being shot twice by the police for delivering papers. The driver/daughter caught a piece of something that ripped her finger. Apparently some academy grads missed the whole series of identify a threat/ID self as PD/issue verbal warning/make arrest lectures they supposedly cover before panic-spraying random civilians' vehicles at 4AM in some myopic haste to deliver street justice as judge/jury/executioners.Oops.

I feel so safe with such guardians nearby I'll doubtless sleep soundly. I foresee a mid-8-figure series of liability payouts in the near future for the City of L.A., after the hospital bills, lost work, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and ancillary suits by the neighbors' houses hit by all the spraying and praying are tallied up. And apologists are saying that since no one was seriously injured, no one should lose their job over this!?! Classic.

I think it's getting close to time to taking guns away from the cops too, except for the ones who demonstrate weekly range proficiency, and responsibility under the unimaginable stress of confronting little old ladies throwing papers out of car windows.

You can't make this level of stupid up.

I'm just glad this latest whackjob wasn't a Marine/SF/Ranger/etc. But lowering standards for minority applicants after federal consent decrees is paying off HUGE dividends for the LAPD, and will continue to do so for decades.

I'm just hoping this wingnut is either frozen or ate his gun up in the local mountains (where it's currently snowing), because if he shows even the least level of prior planning, this is going to be a long-term problem - weeks or months - rather than a two-day news blip.

This is about the only "new" relevant argument / info / rhetoric I've seen on this topic.

The obviousness or even "duh-ness" of the arguments is such that its not really even worth debating anymore. I don't need some quote from the Dali Llama or Bruce Willis or whoever to make the point for me posted on facebook a million times.

Neuroscience, while about the nervous system, is directly tied to "brainwashing" and there are more than a number of studies conducted by the US Government and its various agencies to make use of neuroscience to "brainwash" individuals. However, the more correct term might be neuropsychology, however, neuroscience is directly tied to neuropsychology as well.

Actually, I want to point out that because the leftists / progressives / liberals reject God and hence true moral authority, then they are capable of such atrocities. It boils down to that.

What about Fort Hood Shooter? Note: we should deprive them of any fame by never using their name.

Well, as a muslim, it is the immoral equivalent. Islam calls for the murder of everyone else, so it is clearly false. They do not believe in the true God. Their actions speak louder than all of their lies.

One simple answer: all movements attract nutters. Right-wing libertarian-leaning NRA types see "the enemy" as The Government. Democrat types see the enemy as other citizens- the social democrat philosophy is based on needing the State to control the evils of your fellow men. So, a Progressive who goes "over the edge" is likely to turn on his fellow citizens who, philosophically, he sees as the cause of evil in the world. A right-libertarian flies his plane into a tax office, or something like that.
